Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2678 1472: Twists and Turns (Part 2)

In an instant, a multitude of vast and minor gray arrays blanketed the heavens, forming a truly staggering spectacle.

Observing the jaw-dropping display from above, Leo Ray kept channeling the Power of Divine Grace while giving a subtle nod.

Without the aid of Barrier Crystals and depending only on the enormous array's size, finishing it would surely take ages.

"Human kid, pour in everything you've got, the real action's kicking off!"

The figure in the pink hood vanished in a flash and reappeared on top of the Barrier Crystal, tracing intricate and shifting magical runes with their staff.

As the pink-hooded figure swung their wand, the massive gray array erupted in brilliant golden light, unleashing a thick surge of gold-and-gray blended power that rushed outward in every direction.

Every spot the energy waves touched made the hidden space traps pop into view at once, before crumbling away and dissolving entirely into nothingness.

Due to the resulting space ripples, the landscape near Leo Ray shifted dramatically; Serena and Stella got flung to random spots once more, while a shocked Loris and Sina suddenly materialized beside him.

The array had activated mere moments ago, and as the Barrier Crystal cracked with a sharp snap, the pink-hooded figure jumped down, landing right in front of Leo Ray again.

"Done, human kid—the enemy's space traps are all cleared out, and from the returning energy vibes, it's swept through the whole city without missing a beat."

The pink-hooded figure dusted off their hands nonchalantly while telling Leo Ray, "Remember your word; I'll hit you up for payback soon enough."

Once the pink-hooded figure finished talking, the crystal broke apart completely, pieces scattering across the ground.

"Of course, thanks for all the effort, Your Excellency."

Leo Ray gave a light smile, then faced Loris and Sina, adding, "Esteemed leaders, you see what's happened—give the order, have the troops assemble."

"Got it!"

Snapping out of their brief stupor, the pair bobbed their heads vigorously and fired off a magical signal flare to call everyone back.

"Human Excellency, who's this individual?"

With preparations wrapped up, Loris eyed the pink-hooded figure warily, a rare guarded look crossing his tough features.

From the overwhelming presence alone, he could tell the petite-seeming pink-hooded figure possessed an immeasurable level of power.

Sina mirrored his caution, toning down the usual icy haughtiness on her fair features just a touch.

"Leaders, this is my ally from..."

Right as Leo Ray started to clarify, the pink-hooded figure cleared their throat softly, cutting him off.

Leo Ray caught on immediately.

After all, getting stuck in a space rift for years on end wasn't exactly a point of pride, so the reminder was clearly about saving face.

"I'm merely a temporary aid summoned by this human kid, that's all."

The pink-hooded figure stepped forward leisurely, speaking to Loris and Sina, "Little Lion, Little Python, got more queries?"

"None at all—we only wanted to express our gratitude for Your Excellency's aid, with no desire to pry into Your Excellency's background."

Sina hurriedly shook her head, her expression brimming with deference, as Loris nodded along eagerly.

Even though the tone dripped with indifference, considering the incredible might that could wipe them out in seconds—not to mention pulling them from danger—they held back any complaints.

Facing such an enigmatic and volatile expert, the leaders showed no hint of carelessness despite their status.

Overflowing with admiration, Sina and Loris turned their eyes toward Leo Ray, a matching glint sparking in their gazes.

Ever since their encounter in the Land of Divine Favor, this youthful Human Clan ruler had stunned them time and again. Teaming up with a powerhouse like this now? That might be the essence of true mystery.

Sensing the leaders' stares, Leo Ray grinned back, grateful as the pink-hooded figure had accidentally boosted his own aura of intrigue—a bonus he hadn't expected.

While they talked on, gusts of strong winds whipped through, and the dispersed allies rushed to reform ranks, swelling the group once more with the Broken Valley Alliance's fighters included.

Gazing at the Broken Valley Alliance warriors, whittled down to mere bones, the pink-hooded figure was left without words. He'd suspected as much from the space seam, but seeing it firsthand still stirred quiet regret, leaving him at a loss.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, the troops are all gathered now!"

Before long, commanders such as Sina and Loris approached in turn, bowing slightly to Leo Ray.

"Time to move out right away."

Leo Ray acknowledged with a nod, guiding the group at a brisk pace toward the towering column of black smoke piercing the clouds.

Yet mere steps in, wild winds erupted nearby, and thick black mist began silently swallowing the barren wasteland.

This abrupt shift grabbed everyone's focus instantly, since no such fog had lingered here earlier.

"No—it's those forbidden techniques from the witch demon bunch!"

The pink-hooded figure reacted quickest, their surprisingly grave tone clashing with their build as they warned, "This ploy's downright vicious. If I'm right, when the spell finishes, everyone here gets fully devoured by this cursed black mist!"

"This honored one is spot on—the black fog reeks of rage and killing will, an evil undead magic like nothing I've encountered before."

Frank's grave tone followed, backing it up, "Forget our group; a top-tier force of a million would vanish in a flash."

"What?!"

At the pink-hooded figure's and Frank's declarations, chaos erupted among their ranks, faces paling in mutual shock.

After all, they'd barely escaped the space trap nightmare, only to slam into yet another fatal threat.

"No surprise they stayed quiet after we broke their space traps—they'd set up this fallback ages ago!"

Loris gripped his fists until they popped, then released them in helpless anger, naturally glancing at Leo Ray, with the rest following suit in desperate appeal.

"Your Excellency, old sir, any method to fight back against this spell?"

Leo Ray asked the pink-hooded figure and Frank without pause.

"This black fog's flowing in from beyond the city walls. If I'm correct, the heart of this wicked array lies outside."

The pink-hooded figure's tone turned heavy in reply.

After the pink-hooded figure's input, Frank nodded promptly too, clearly sharing the assessment.

"But that binding barrier seals the whole city—we're trapped inside!"

Loris's lion-like eyes bulged as he burst out.

Hearing that, the others bobbed their heads grimly, worry etching their faces.

They'd all felt the Absolute Imprisonment Barrier's might up close; shattering it seemed out of reach, especially with time slipping away fast.

As they debated, the encircling black mist thickened further, wisps of dark vapor curling up from numerous allies' protective fields, clear evidence of the magic's eating away at them.

Quickly, the fresh surge of morale across the squad plunged back into doom's shadow, as all realized their doomsday timer had silently started ticking.

Even worse, in this dire setup, halting it appeared utterly hopeless.
